Hi hun...
hope your sister appreciates all the support you give her. You're a star.
Ebay is at dribs and drabs for me as well. Sold a few but because they're at low prices I have to sell a few to make much difference.
I see you've been burning the candle at both ends, you naughty girl.
How is DDs arm? Kids are very resilient though aren't they. I'm sure everything will be fine. Doesn't stop us worrying though does it?
Your totals in the last two months are staggering. I bet you feel fantastic about that. I hope you get that break GR. It'll do you the world of good.
Hope all is well with you and J.
Keep well and hope everything is going well at work.
Catch you soon.

Thanks Diz. Work isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's not fabulous, don't get me wrong, but its tons better than I expected it to be.

Sister is really doing my head in. I think I'm much more worried about things than she is. I feel like shouting at her and telling her to deal with it herself as she's so indifferent about the whole situation. It's going to take her 341 months to pay all her debt back and she's so matter-of-fact about it!!!!

DD's arm is not quite so problematic but I'm still keeping an eye on it. Your right kids are worrying aren't they. J not so good the last few days, he's really down in the dumps. I didn't hear from him at all yesterday which I'm worried about. I just wish the next few months would go really quickly for him so that everything can be done and dusted. At the moment he can't look to his future until his past is all tied up. I must say we've become better friends than I could have ever expected these last few months. I know he really appreciates everything I do for him I just don't know how else he feels. Will just have to wait and see.

Hope everyone has a good day and I'll catch you later.

Hi there guys. Had another busy day today. Managed to get the majority of sisters paperwork done today so just need her to sign them and we can get them off in the post.

Have sold a book on Amazon and have got 3 definitely sales on e-bay and quite a few things ending tonight.

Have got lots of paperwork hanging around the house right now so I really need to deal with it all. Am going to make a start tonight and get as much as I can done.

WIll pop on here to keep up to date with everything though.

Morning Wendy, let's just say it's a nice little sum!!!!!

Friday at last. I can't believe the rate in which the year is flying by. Mum is home from holidays today and it's her birthday so I'll have to call in to see her after work and see how the holiday went and give her her presents.

Managed to seel 4 items yesterday 3 on e-bay and one on amazon, so felt a little more positive about the selling lark. Also have had some lovely feedback on e-bay for some of the items I've sold, so that was really pleasing.

Got really annoyed last night. I run a savings scheme for a few close friends. We were all stung by Farepak hampers and lost an average of £400 each so two of us decided to open a savings account in joint names and save for christmas. There are about 5 of my close friends involved and this year my cousin decided to join in. She telephoned me last night to ask if she could have her savings out. She's saved £200 and shes desperate for the money. Even though there were no rules when we set up the savings scheme, it was for Christmas soI'm really annoyed that she wants her money out now. Am not going to ask her to save with us next year. (I'm a stickler for rules aren't I?). Talking of Christmas savings I'm doing really well at the moment. I've got £300 saved in the work scheme and £280 saved with my mum. I'm hoping to have about £1000 by Christmas. I'm not going to spend it all on christmas though I'm hoping there'll be enough there to put a deposit down for a holiday next year.

Right, off to make the lunches and get ready for work. Catch you all later.

Friday night again.....

It hasn't been a bad week at all, although I've been feeling a bit down today. Ex hubby phoned this morning and I feel as if I've got to beg every month for my child support money from him. Not once in over 5 years has it just been offered to me, I've got to ask every single month. That put me in a bad mood for the day!

Have got 2 bids on items I'm selling so have got 2 definite sales and a few watchers on some other items. I'm hoping some of the bigger items will sell so that I can clear some space. Have got a bagful of parcels to send off tomorrow so hopefully there'll be a few more to add to it.

Have done 9 out of the 10 things which isn't too bad. Have also waxed my eyebrows and dyed my hair so saved some money there.

Sold 2 items today, not made very much so a little disappointed there. Am going to have to have another good look around to see if I can find anything else to sell.
